Nevermore

Nevermore

Things we see in the caves of our dreams come to light in the streets
Where people are reeling in life and what happens to them is what happens
And we watch the story develop with heroes and villains
And the victims they leave in the dirt sing songs we never remember

And we cry at injustice, and the toll that it takes
We cry for ten million heartbreaks
We cry for the faithful left on the shore
And we cry cry cry... nevermore nevermore

Things we know in the depth of our souls
Seldom find a way into the world that we know
That we know in our hearts is the way it should be
It should be it could be if we willed to be

And the stars race across the sky
We look to our heroes to never say die
And we drink to the fallen, on the fourth of July
And our sons and our daughters right down the line
Fall into it time after time
Nevermore nevermore nevermore nevermore

Things we do as we stagger to find
Our place in the world in the world in the world
Where justice breaks down and nobility breaks down
And kindness and all of her brothers break down
With bare hands and bare feet bearing arms bearing arms
With a shot in the dark a shot in the dark

And we cry at injustice, and the toll that it takes
We cry for ten million heartbreaks
We cry for the faithful left on the shore
And we cry cry cry... nevermore nevermore
